Before I left Baltimore last week, I made sure to at least get a tour of the ballpark and hunt for Dave McNally sightings. The tour was pretty cool and sure enough Dave showed up in a number of places including in the Orioles Hall of Fame and on the all-time leaders lists.

Over the decade or so I have known the McNally's I had lost perspective on how special it was for Dave to have played in the major leagues. Visiting the park was a nice reminder of the impact Dave had on so many people...... I could almost picture him on the mound (even though it would have been a different ballpark) in 1966 delivering a shutout against the heavily favored Dodgers.
